I'm about to put together an EPIA-M based system to be my new router/firewall/mail-web-mp3-server so I've been going through the archives to see if I can distill exactly which hardware on these boards is and isn't supported. I think I have a pretty good idea now, but I wonder if anyone out there is running 4.8R or a recent -STABLE on one of these and can confirm for sure that: - The onboard vr(4) Ethernet is now working reliably at 100Mbps? - The USB ports work, but only in USB 1.1 compatibility mode? - The Firewire ports are recognised, and can successfully drive a FireWire disk? Note that I'm most interested in the EPIA *M* boards, the newer ones with USB 2.0, Firewire and hardware MPEG decoding (not that I'll be using that...), rather than the original EPIA.
